I personally have no problem with explicit statement terminators.
The reason they are incorporated into a language is that it makes it
much easier to write the compiler.

As far as goto's are concerned I am GLAD GLAD GLAD that they are gone
:-) If one takes advantage of functions and modular programming then
the need for goto statements decreases dramatically.
